Thanks to the generous donations of The Penn Gazette and Kelly Writer's House, the Penn Publication's Cooperative is proud to host the "PubCo Awards." The PubCo Awards provide student publications with an opportunity to showcase the best work they have produced over the course of a year and provide the student writers, photographers, and artists of a publication with the opportunity to receive meaningful feedback. Below, you will find both a list of the categories in this year's PubCo Awards and a list of the rules that will govern submissions.
